Well, here's your chance, for our good old friend, John Willard, has invited us aboard the U. S. Navy submarine, of which he is now in command. Look at that funny apparatus. What is it? Oh, John says it’s a periscope. The sub is submerging. Here’s our chance to look in. Far off. it must be in India, we see Lawrence Johnson and George Swanick supervising the building of a great bridge. Ignatius Rygielski is superintending another. There’s Frank Preston at the opening of that large gold mine. George Horoschak is over there in Egypt, see him ? He’s another civil engineer. Then there are John Palmer, William Lucas and Raymond Nelson, all electrical engineers and working very hard. Sam Simkin is a plumbing engineer over on that side. That must be California. Speaking of California, do you see Hollywood? Yes, that’s it. and there are the movie lots. Who is that? Oh, look! There is Eileen Rankin. I’m going to see her picture if I see nothing else. There’s Raymond Fine, our old Patsy, imitating Charlie Chaplin. There’s Sophie Schaker, working for Paramount, and over there, see in the corner, is Dorothy Billott. Even William Jorgensen and Lesten Langan are there doing their bit, with Clarence Cottrell lightening their work by his jokes. Well, look what I see now. Schoolrooms! And in their own classrooms are: Ira Witkin, Julia Kaplowitz, teaching history; Steve Hogya. chemistry teacher; Frederick Gilbert, Latin professor; Marie Andrus, Tillie Spevack, Dorothy Doneson, Margaret Peterson, Genevieve Fullerton, teaching mathematics; Mildred Cassidy, with her tots; Jeanette Konopka teaching typing and secretarial work; Ernest Oliver, botany professor; Amelia Capik and Isadore Dicker teaching English; Phyllis Epstein, a dietitian, and Vera Throne, a teacher in, yes, that must be a private school. Goodness, we have enough teachers! Let’s look over there. Ah! There are some beauty salons. Let’s see who are there. Catherine Hurley is very busy in her establishment. And there is Sylvia Weiner, who has her name on the Palmolive Soap ads. Sophie Whatney seems to be quite well known as a cosmetician. Why there’s Vera Peterson! You know she’s employed by the Woodbury Company as beauty specialist. Could that be?—Yes, it’s New York City! I wonder what we’ll see there? Isn’t that William Kozusko? He’s working pretty hard in the editor’s office of the New York Times Building. He must be the editor. Look who’s here! Francis Washko is leading the New York Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra. There’s Eugene Eaton. He seems to be a broker, and that’s surely Wall Street. Edward Gawczynski and Stanley Podleski are real estate brokers. Louise Webber is there in the Corn Exchange Bank as bookkeeper. There’s Winifred Nolan, a secretary, and Marie Maldanis in the Ritz-Carlton. She seems to be a public stenographer. Lucille Lippman is, yes, that’s it; she’s editor of the Ladies’ Home Journal. There are the slums and there’s Ruth Gross. It’s just like her. She’s helping the poor people there. Do you see that building there? No, on the other side. 1 hat’s page thirty-nine mmmawmr the Metropolitan Opera House, and there is Catherine Gilfillan singing. She’s good. Oh, look! Books. Best sellers by Margaret Doucette and by Helen Ekreder. And they’re being criticized by Edna Rosenshein. 1 hope Edna doesn’t criticize too severely.

Rose Silverman and Bella Cohen are famous modistes on Fifth Avenue, with Eleanor Jensen as model. Alvin Skelton is the head of the well-known moving concern. Philip Breiter has an easy job. He’s the manufacturer of mattresses. What are those buildings? There are ambulances. Those must be hospitals. There's Esther Barner in a white uniform, and there’s Laura Bogart. 1 here’s Israel Saltman at the window in a white suit. Martin Marcus is going up the stairs with Austin Heller. They’re both carrying satchels and seem to be worried over something. Here come Irving Silber, Sidney Dorn-yak, Michael Bulecza, Hyman Koch, and Harold Hall. They all seem to be doctors of some sort. Are you feeling well? If not, you’d better see them. Oh, I forgot. The periscope’s just showing us the future. Well, here’s Chicago. 1 wonder what we’ll see in Chicago. Guns. Shooting. It must be, for there’s Albert Pignone. Remember when he said he’d be A1 Capone’s successor? I guess that’s what lie’s doing now. Margaret Driscoll and Tom Dennis are members of the Chicago Light Opera Company. What this? A court. Some great case is going on and there’s Lillian bass as lawyer. Leonard Dubrow is sitting in the judge’s chair. Henry Bernstein and Kalman Davidson are there talking as usual. I guess they must be lawyers. That’s a pretty big case.

A1 Nagy is successor to Rockne at Notre Dame. Peter Krulikowski is a football player with the New York Giants. Matthew Borsuk is a track coach at what seems to be N. Y. U.

Joseph Belafsky is a pharmacist. Herman Doctofsky is a pharmacist too. Willard Engle is a bacteriologist. Gee, these scenes are going fast. Don’t blame me if I don’t write much. They’re just floating by. Joseph Stolarz is a freeholder from Middlesex County. At least that’s what we see. Tom Jago is a radio “blues” crooner. Helen Ratajczak is a private secretary.

Claire Bjornson is the wife of a certain automobile racer. Julia Kaminsky is our first girl orchestra leader. Izola Fullerton is a librarian in the Congressional Library.

Tyrus Peck is a machinist. Carl Toborowsky is first violinist in the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra. John Desmond is a well-known pilot. Philip Pass is another politician.

She’s a popular debutante at Newport. Marie Clancy is court stenographer. Lillian Reimer is a designer of scenery for stage productions. Abe Wallach discovered a new element. Isadore Rosenblum is an established humorist. Why lie’s a rival of Henry Burbig. Eleanor Hmieleski is private secretary to the governor, no less. Hazel Woitcheck is stenographer in the House of Representatives. Gerald Solt, the last to be mentioned, appears to be one of the greatest, according to the periscope. But what it is I can’t tell you for the scene is blurring. It’s gone. Here comes John Willard. Our trip is over and we have to get off. We certainly had a pleasant time though, and now we know more than before. Amelia Capik and Ira Witkin. ---------o--------- After Commencement-What? As commencement day approaches near, We who have waited begin to fear, What lies beyond that day in June, Which makes us feel that all too soon Our High School life has quickly passed, And now to leave it we are asked. Yes—to leave and never return Though we may sadly yearn and yearn, But as a storm-tossed ship at sea, We are upon this world set free, No longer will our teacher’s hand Be there to guide us like a fairy wand ; No longer can we idly shirk When before us there is work For the time has come when we must leave Upon our own initiative.

We were embarking for a long cruise over the Ocean of Life, in a brand new submarine. Soon all the hatchways were closed, and we were under way, slowly submerging into the blue waters. Then at last there came my chance to look through the periscope. As I placed my eye to the periscope, I saw nothing; but soon a ship appeared faintly, but becoming clear and more clear as it approached. As it drew nearer, I could distinguish the letters on the ship, “Class of ’31.” The “Class of ’31” aroused my curiosity to know who and what they were doing. This is what I saw going on on board ship: First, there came a class quite eager and desirous, more so than any other class. Their immediate participation in the activities of the school was remarkable. The clubs that accepted Freshmen members gained many valuable members, while the athletics of the school found many keen supporters. The incomparable Periscope drew their attention at once and their enthusiasm for it equalled that of the upper classmen. With such a record behind it, the first year of the class ended. The scene fades, a summer vacation passed and now I see the Class of ’31 as Sophomores. The operetta success, “Sweethearts,” had in its cast a large number of Sophomores, many outstanding ones. Some entered the athletic field, becoming well known along that line. The membership lists for the many clubs were large and consisted of many from this group. Their third year was a continuation of successful progress and presented new and more opportunities. A Junior Prom was sponsored by this group and was an absolute success. Another operetta, another Dramatic Club play, longer Honor Roll lists, included the names of many favorites of this class. The periscope becomes dim, more dim, and then all is dark, until the word “Seniors,” suddenly flashes out in burning red letters. There was no need to see through the periscope any longer. Those bright, flashing letters related to me the remaining conquests of the Class of ’31. The periscope becomes dimmed for the last time and, wonder of wonders, my eyes are bright with tears for this remarkable and vivacious Class of ’31. Eva Maniscalco and Austin Heller. page forty-nine The Victories of the Class of 1932 The terrible battle of the Class of 1932 began in February, 1928. A company of approximately one hundred (100) raw recruits marched down from the Barracks Street headquarters to the State Street headquarters. Vv iien we set out we were very bold, but as we neared our future camp we i.egan to get nervous. We were more so when we got inside. We looked nere and there, almost afraid the enemy would pop out at us. Trying to appear brave, we marched into the assembly hall. Here the general (Mr. Ramsey) issued his orders and assigned us to our tents (classrooms). When we arrived at our tents, we felt awed. Gradually we adjusted ourselves to the new situation. The first week in our new quarters was very humiliating. The older soldiers made fun of us, and our pride was hurt badly, as we thought ourselves important. The second week was the beginning of the fighting. Our enemies (English, Science, Latin, Algebra, etc.) overcame some, but most of our soldiers conquered them. A number of names were on the honor list. The campaign continued in this manner for three years. During these years many soldiers were promoted in rank. In athletics our soldiers excelled. To take their minds off the constant worry, they joined many clubs (Science, French, Glee, Dramatic), and participated in many plays. In Assembly the orchestra has many of our division in it. At last, we are on the last year of the war. With a new mess tent (cafeteria) and recreation building (gymnasium) we certainly ought to conquer our foes. Most of us are glad that the war is about over, but there is a sad feeling when we think of all the good times we have had together. Jeanette Fretz, 12 A. ----------o---------- History of 1 1 B Class Stop! Look! Listen! Fellow students of Perth Amboy High School! This is the J-u-n-i-o-r B Class broadcasting. We have prepared a program telling you of our class and we hope that it will interest you. First we want to tell you that we are all proud of being upperclassmen. We are thankful for being Juniors and we are all going to struggle zealously toward our goal—that of graduating from High School and perhaps, for some of us, going to college. We are all preparing for some life work and have hopes of success for the future. Now we want to tell you about our activities in school. We have been well represented in athletics, having some of our boys on the football and basketball teams and some of our girls on the basketball team also. We have assisted in the sale of the Periscope and the Annual. Some of our classmates are in the band and in the orchestra. We have students banking every week and now we are having a Junior dance, the first we have undertaken since we have been in High School. We all hope it will be a success, so that when we become Seniors we may have more social activities. We have had our say and now this is the J-u-n-i-o-r B Class signing off. Ding! Dong! Edith Pavlovsky. page fifty '■qgljmBMHMHHHMHHHHHHHBHHi r Expeditions of the Class of 1933 It was during the early fall of 1929 that we decided to organize the crew of the largest airship of that time, the P. A. H. S. Class of 1933. The Board of Directors decided that we were to have four trips. Each was to begin in February. All was in readiness January 29, 1929, and we were ready to start. All our friends were there to bid us good-bye and wish us a good journey. We boarded the ship and started the machinery and set off to the “land of many studies.” After sailing for days, we sighted a huge building that we realized was the object we went to seek. After nosing for a while, a man came out and told us to enter a huge room called the Auditorium. To our surprise Mr. Ramsey knew all our names. He called them all one by one and we all took different courses to gain knowledge in some line. We stayed here for a year and during that time some joined clubs, others were in the operetta, “The Prince of Pilsen,” and then again others entered into the sports. As usual there were some who only pursued their studies. An entire year passed which was called the Freshman year, and we returned to our native lands and reported our successes to our parents and friends. Our only form of pay during this time was the knowledge of knowing that we gained extensive training in what we studied. This we found out by our report cards which we received at the end of every six weeks. . A number of days we spent as our holidays and then got ready to return to our friends and teachers. We set out again on a fine February morn. There were less in our crew now. We again bid good-bye with faithful promises of return the next year. We sailed on for a few days and again landed in our “land of studies.” The airship was put in its hangar and we put ourselves into the studying of our next year, called the Sophomore year. This time we met with harder difficulties. There were many more subjects to put our minds to, but there was also much enjoyment to be found. We saw there were new people there whom we had never seen before. We had some fun teasing them as we had been teased by our elders when we had been Freshmen. There were many clubs, which we joined, and more sports. We attended a Spring and Fall Frolic given by our elders, the Juniors and Seniors. After many storms and hardships we passed the tests and returned to our homes with experiences and adventures to tell of this strange land of Education. And now again we return to our school. We had a fine trip. The weather is foggy hut we hope to come through with flying colors. The crew had diminished quite a bit during the past two years. We are Juniors now and considered elders. We are going to give a dance this Spring and hope to make a success of it. The officers of our Junior class are: John Witt, President; Katherine Sturgis, Vice-President; Olga Paluk, Secretary. We are going to return to our homes next February and then return to complete our Senior year. We then will have completed our four years’ expedition. Our goal will be attained. Olidia Landgreen. . page fifty one Class History of ’33 “He was the noblest Roman of them all.” What an honor it would be to be called the noblest class of them all. To attain this goal the Class of ’33 must be loyal to its future Alma Mater. Let us gance at the record of the Class of ’33 for its first two years: The honor roll for each marking period can readily show that the Sophomores are up in the intellectual world. Of course, it has dwindled some since our Freshman year, but it is up to the standard of the other classes. A few members of the Class of ’33 were in last year’s operetta, and from advance reports “Oh, Doctor!’ will enjoy the co-operation of members of our class. Many of our classmates do their daily dozen with the band and orchestra. On the gridiron not only did we take part as jubilant spectators, but also, as the whistle shrilled, a few ’33 men could be seen picking themselves up from the scrimmage. The result of our endeavors on the gridiron this year produced much material for next year’s team. We placed two men on the varsity basketball team this year. The nucleus of the jayvee team is primarily composed of our classmates. Positions on the girls’ basketball team have also been filled by ’33 girls. On the diamond two Sophomores found berths on the sub-varsity team and many more are due to find positions on the team this year. Various clubs of our school are also honored by members of our class. Many students have neglected to start the social life of our school until theii Junior year, so next year should be a banner year. Come on, Class of '33 ! The noblest class of them all. John Dudas, 10 B. A Find It was the year 1962. Two girls, Dorinda and Dolly by name, were up in the attic of Dorinda’s home searching for old costumes. “You know,” said Dorinda. as they lifted the lid of an old trunk that was pushed away back under the eaves of the roof, “it makes me laugh to hear mother talk about her old high school class. To hear her talk you would think they were simply magnificent.” es, agreed Dolly, her chum; “Dad was in the same class and he raves too. But then, it is cpiite customary for you to like your ‘dear old Alma Mater’ after you have graduated.” By this time they had opened the trunk, and a sigh of disappointment escaped from Dolly’s lips. “Nothing but old papers,” she sighed wearily. “I wish we could find something. I am getting so tired.” As Dorinda prepared to shut the trunk, her eyes fell on a bundle of old papers on which was written in big letters, “10A Class History!” Eagerly she took it from the trunk and the two girls thinking to have a joke on their elders pored over the faded pages. - page fifty-two “In this the year of 1931, we, the Sophomores, wish to review for the benefit of the other students in the High School what we have already accomplished and also to predict what will happen in the future. We are just beginning our second year in High School and already we love and revere it. In our first year we had many of our class in the Aft Club, Glee Club, on the Periscope Staff, football team, class basketball team and also on the varsity basketball squad in which game our trusty boys defeated the Juniors and gave even the grave and dignified Seniors a run for their money. In the Christmas play quite a number from our ranks took part. With all this behind us in one year what else, dear students of P. A., can you expect than that our class will be the bright and shining light to inspire future classes who will enter these portals?” Dorinda laid the paper down and looked at Dolly thoughtfully. Then as they made their way down the dusty stairs leaving the forgotten costumes to the mercy of the moths and cobwebs, she said, “After all, I guess the joke’s on us.” Helen Cowees, 10 A. ----------o---------- Freshmen Class History Five hundred Freshmen! Think of that! Running through the corridors on the wrong side, rushing up to every notice tacked on the bulletin boards and staring at the different teachers. Some calling to persons who, they thought were fellow Freshmen, but who turned out to be bored Sophomores. Many of us found it quite difficult to get acquainted with the different passages and have wondered why it is that you are only allowed to go up and down certain stairs. The rest of us have long since ceased wondering and just follow the example of the upperclassmen. Well, such is life. We won’t have to endure this after September, when we are no longer Freshmen, but sophisticated Sophomores. Many of us have joined the Glee Club, some are in the Orchestra. Band and String Ensemble. Some of our number are in the Annual Operetta. A list of our names appear on the Honor Roll each marking period. The school work for some of us has been extremely difficult, while to others it has been very simple and interesting. Perhaps in the next semester we will he more acquainted with our school, its rooms, corridors, teachers and fellow schoolmates. Well, we Freshmen will have to start the ball rolling and press onward toward another term at the Perth Amboy High School as the Sophomores of 1931-32.

The Triangle Club The Triangle Club has enjoyed both a successful and a happy year. It started with the initiation of new members on November 5. We certainly had fun and I am sure that the girls remembered the initiation for quite a few days afterwards. Our monthly suppers have been enjoyed by all the girls. At our first supper a very worthwhile talk on “Physical Education,” was given by Miss Bowers, a physical instructor of New York. We again filled the baskets for the poor on Thanksgiving and Christmas and gained the real holiday spirit. On December 17, we had our Christmas Party. We exchanged gifts and sang songs. Miss Stauffer read a number of delightful Christmas stories which were enjoyed by everyone. The big happening of the year was our annual Hi-Tri Dance on December 19. The music was wonderful and the dancing was better. Everyone had a lovely time. Every time we Triangle girls have a theatre party in New York, we have our supper in a restaurant and later see a show. This year the date fell on January 30. Many girls went and all enjoyed it. We saw “Girl Crazy,” and all of you who have seen it know what it’s like. On February 13, the Hi-Y boys gave the Triangles a Valentine Social. Games were played and dancing enjoyed by everyone. The Alumni Supper on March 18, which brings back a large number of our alumni of the Triangle, is always an unforgetable event. Our supper is looked forward to as we always have a wonderful time. Then last, our Senior Supper, and then we will say farewell to Triangle and all that it stands for. Our one wish is that the Triangle Club be as successful in the coming years as it has been in the past year. Catherine Hurley; Sec’y. piige fifty-five ■IHBBHHBBHBi ■■■■■ ART CLUB Top: .1. Konopka, G.

Well, we are going to have one right now; we are even going to see them being painted. Here is the room, and we see a carton of paper, a brush, and cans of all colored paints. Indeed, who shall fill all these sheets of paper? Thus the Art Club shall live up to its name. The first picture begins in September. The taking in of new members who were able to pass the test that was required of them. At many meetings different works of art were brought in by the members and many a heated discussion upon them took place. At Christmas time the members were inspired to save a little spending money by making their own Christmas cards. A very successful party was given to the outgoing graduates, which was also an initiation for some of the members. Behold, another picture—the election of new officers. They are as follows: Amelia Capik, President; Catherine Hurley, Vice-President; Lil- lian Reimer, Secretary; Adam Maniscalco, Treasurer, and Benjamin Tab-enkin, Publicity Manager. Again new members enter, but the club shall not exceed 25 members. The papers are rapidly and eagerly being filled. Every afternoon for about a month the members rush home to work on their World Peace posters. The operetta is being helped along by the Art Club, especially by Miss Fritts. The papers are all filled, the brush is falling apart, and the paints are gone. So closes another Art Exhibition which has been very successful and we hope you have enjoyed it, and we owe everything to Miss Fritts and Miss Hallahan, our able supervisors. Lillian Reimer. Fi-Am Club The Fi-Am Club opened its sessions of 1930-31 with Phyllis Epstein as President; Freida Rosenzweig, Vice-President; Tillie Spivack, Treasurer, and Lillian Fass, Secretary. Miss Goldstein became the new adviser. New members were admitted, and the club set out on a new year of activity. The first of the year’s social activities was a Faculty Tea given in November. The affair took place in the new cafeteria. A delightful program was presented also. The second activity was a dance which took place in December and was a success. In January, since many of the members were graduated, it was decided to give a supper for the departing members. The supper was held in the Majestic Grill. Bridge was also played and the evening was most enjoyable. February brought about the admission of another group of girls to the club. Now these girls, together with the former members are working to keep the Fi-Am going and to continue its successful year. And so the Fi-Am Club bids you good-bye until next September.

The present officers are: President, Joseph Mizenko; Vice-President, Genevieve Fullerton; Secretary, Helen Homsack; Treasurer, Sophie Schaker. The members are steadily increasing because the students realize the benefits derived from the organization. The programs have been of various kinds; essays about famous men of history, debates on political issues, round table discussions on important quetions of the day, and others that relate to the matter of history. This club has also been co-operating with the Perth Amboy Woman’s History Club. On several occasions we have heard eminent speakers through the courtesy of this older club. We believe that this school club is indeed an asset to our High School. Helene Homsack, Secretary. El Circulo Castellano “El Circulo Castellano” is the traditional name adopted by the charter members of the Spanish Club. The purpose of El Circulo Castellano is to stimulate a greater interest in the study of Spanish, and to help the pupils gain a more thorough knowledge of Spain, its people, customs and dress. The club met in Room 200 every second Thursday and aimed to accomplish its purpose through various methods. At a few of the meetings, Spanish plays have been given with the members taking part and other meetings have been in the form of Spanish musicales. Spanish stories, authors’ and poets’ lives have been studied. Among these were Cervantes. Ruiz, Galdos and Benanente. At still another meeting a debate in Spanish was given. We have also had speakers. During one chapel period, the club presented a Spanish sketch with a cabinet scene as the background, and consisting of Spanish songs sung in Spanish. Our meetings were very interesting, especially the initiation meetings. The club has a constitution which must be signed by all incoming members. Aside from the benefits of the club, much pleasure was derived from our meetings and an enjoyable time was usually had by all. Thus, I urge the other students taking Spanish to participate in the work of the club and when eligible become members. Looking ahead, I sincerely hope that the future members of the Spanish Club will work for the welfare of the club and that they may also derive as much pleasure from it as we did. On behalf of the members, I wish to express our most sincere gratitude to Miss Stripling for her kind supervision, and for the time she has devoted to us. Eleanore M.

Bulecza. Hi-Y Sometime ago I was invited to attend a meeting of the Hi-Y Club. Having had a busy day I came home late and incidentally came late to the meeting. When 1 arrived everything was noisy and disorderly, so 1 slid into the nearest seat where 1 could observe without being observed. When 1 closed my eyes I could easily imagine myself in some men’s club. The same laughs, the same loud voices, and an exasperated president trying to keep order. Finally, however, the noise abated and I could again think clearly. Roland Abegg, the secretary, if I recall rightly, that was his name, took the attendance and read the minutes which were apparently written up a few minutes before the meeting opened. Business was then in order. Wm. Kozusko reported on the committees and the treasurer, Nicholas Urban, gave the financial report, that included a list of names, which, as I later found out, were those who had not paid their last year’s dues. Business, by order of the president, Thomas Dennis, was then suspended for a short time. Every one was asked to rise, for a moment of silent prayer to a man, known to all the boys as “Scotty.” I was impressed by their devotion and loyalty to this man who had passed into the Great Beyond. Mr. S. Johnson, the new Boys’ Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., who is trying so hard to quickly acquaint himself with his new duties, asked the secretary to make a list of all the outstanding events of the past year. When this list was finished and read to the club, additions and corrections were made. As I remember they had a dance with the Triangle Club and a supper with the Employed Boys’ Brotherhood of the Y. M. C. A. They also had numerous monthly club suppers. Baskets were sent to poor families on Christmas and Thanksgiving. I was surprised at the large number that attended the State Conference, namely, the State Hi-Y Conference. which was held at Camp Wawayanda, and the State Older Boys’ Conference at Summit. A Valentine Party was held for the Triangle Club at the Y. M. C. A. In the month of March a series of meetings were held in connection with “Choosing One’s Life Work,” and in February many discussions were held in connection with Thrift. In April meetings they had discussions on Vacation. They apparently had a big year with many successes. Their attention was then turned to new business of which there was a great deal. Many lively discussions took place and an equal amount of conclusions were reached. The Lord’s Prayer was repeated and the meeting adjourned. After most of them had gone home, I approached the president and thanked him for the opportunity 1 had had of attending such a fine meeting. Just as I was leaving, he called me back and introduced me to the Club’s Faculty Adviser, Mr. Donald Wolfe, and Vice-President George Swanick. I left this meeting thoroughly pleased and decided that many an older men’s organization could take an example from such a fine meeting as I had just witnessed. page sixty-one page sixty-two COMMERCIAL CLUB Lower: May, Zamez, Louise Webber, Marion, Simmon, Josephine Loweski, M.

For those who do not know what it is I will tell you now: “To Be of Service to Others.” Following such an aim we were almost certain of a very successful, as well as a helpful year. Many people wonder what T. N. T. means. In our case it does not stand for dynamite. Our use of the letters T. N. T. is an abbreviation for Thimble, Needle and Thread. Very easy, isn’t it? Among the many useful deeds we have performed are those of aiding the Red Cross, and helping with the operetta. We also had some project work. Our theme for this project was, “How the World is Clothed.” All members of the club received their pins and charms during the year. Plans were also made for our second trip, possibly the latter part of June. Now with a fond “Cheerio,” as well as a wish for as good, if not a better T. N. T. year next year, I bring to a close this report of all that our members have done this year in order to live up to our aims. Hazel Lamp, Secretary. ----------o--------- Commercial Club The members of this club have had a very successful and happy year. We have enjoyed ourselves by entertaining others and we have also done quite a bit of work. Much credit is due Miss Dwyer whose pleasant guidance and untir- l'’age sixty-three page sixty-four ■ ing efforts have done a great deal toward making our club one of the most progressive in Perth Amboy High. We had a lovely time at our St. Patrick’s social and dance. We believe this will be an annual affair, in the future. The Senior members wish to bid farewell, and in leaving, hand our torch to the next group, hoping they will keep it burning brightly. Marie Clancy. o One of the most successful chapels of the year was conducted by the Glee Club when we presented the play, “Bird's Christmas Carol.” The audience showed their appreciation by laughing uproariously at all the antics of the cast. After the work of the Christmas play was completed, the Glee Club turned its attention to the work of selecting an operetta. After much discussion “Oh, Doctor,” was chosen. The cast was then selected and the club settled down earnestly to work. Through the efforts of Mr. MacMichael and Miss Riddlestorffer, our able coaches, the operetta progressed rapidly and on March 27, to the opening strains of the overture, the curtain rose on one of the most successful operettas presented at the High School. The Glee Club wishes to take this time to thank Dr. Abegg, Miss Stripling, Miss Fritts, Miss Sprague and all others who have assisted us. The success of the operetta was due mainly to the splendid acting and singing of the cast. The Glee Club is now working earnestly to give a program at the citywide exhibit to be held in June at the High School. We hope to bring our part in the exhibition to a successful close as the rest of the 1931 season Tillie Spivack. 12 B That Feeling I wonder if you’ve had the feeling Of leaving all you know? To leave them with the feeling Of sadness mixed with woe. If yet you haven’t felt that way, It will soon come to you, That feeling of dismay That comes to make you blue. All the things worth knowing You leave behind you now, In your memory they’ll keep glowing Like a flaming bough. When you have them with you near. That feeling is not so strong, But after you leave them—they become dear— Something for which to cherish and sadly long. Isadore Dicker, 12 B. _ Piifjc sixty-five MATHEMATICS CLUB 1st Row: W.

This is our first year of existence, and we hope to he better known after we have been working hard for a time. We organized on October 29 in Room 107 with Miss Blish as our adviser. At this meeting election of officers was held with Nicholas Urban filling the President’s chair; George Horton, Vice-President; Irma Jensen. Secretary, and Melvin Fasslcr, Treasurer. It was decided to hold meetings the second and fourth Wednesdays of every month, but this was later changed to the first and third. On December 18, nine students went through the necessary initiation in order to become members of the club. During the course of the year several committees were appointed with the following as chairmen respectively: Craig Boyce, initiation; Charles Krutzler, constitution; George Horton, entertainment; Waring McNitt, pins. At one of the meetings it was decided that Benjamin Tabenkin should design the pin. On February 11th, Dr. Abegg of the faculty, gave an illustrated lecture on Switzerland and Germany. The lecture was enjoyed very much. We expect to admit more members before the year is over and anticipate a successful year as well as a joyful one.

Rose, Miss Fitz-Randolph, Adviser; A. Zagor. page sixty-eight Current Events Club All aboard for the submarine, “Current Events’’ to see the world. Hurrah, we’re off! We feel safe with our able captain, Miss FitzRan-dolph (adviser), directing the first mate, Raymond Jerome (President), who is steering at the wheel, with his second mate, Milton Speigel (Vice-President), looking on ready for any emergency. Of course we’ve paid Frederick Gilbert (Treasure!) for our passage tickets and have received our passports from Belle Gordon (Secretary). Thank goodness, that’s off our minds. First, let’s stop at Russia. Up goes the periscope. Our captain has at first a little difficulty in adjusting the periscope so that we can see what’s what. We all watch with anxious eyes as the officers turn the periscope this way and that. “What is it? Do let me see. Hurry!” we all shout. We can’t wait until it is our turn to see what is going on in the country up above us and as one by one we peer through the periscope, we are in turn surprised. Russia was conducting a most interesting trial. How will it eventually turn out ? “Are these so-called traitors really traitors or not? Is this conspiracy trial fact or farce?” (Topic) What discussion went on. We really couldn’t make up our minds. Half of the crew and passengers (members of the C. E. Club) were on one side, the others on the opposite side. Let us turn the periscope in another direction to see the way the people are living in Russia. (Topic) What Good is Communism Doing in Russia? Well, we can’t tell at the present, but we’ll see how their five-year conservation plan will turn out. It may be much better and much different than we expect; and then again it may be much worse. “Look out!” shouts Captain Fitz-Randolph, so she pulls back the periscope into the submarine. We can’t spend more time on Russia now; there is too much going on in other parts of the world. “Off for Spain!” It was not long before we were at the banks of sunny Spain. Again the periscope is focused on the land. “Will Alphonse keep his throne?” (Topic) Oh, that is the point. Again we are divided among ourselves arguing and debating. No, this is not a waste of time, as I overheard one boy say, for it develops our brains and makes us much better thinkers and keener readers of contemporary events. It makes us think and try to decide how it will affect future history. And so we go from country to country peering at each through our periscope until at last we come to our own United States; satisfied with seeing the events and happenings that are now making world history; history that perhaps our children and grandchildren will study in high school and college. We cordially invite any Junior or Senior to join us in our cruises. All he or she needs as “passport” is to be taking or have taken, a course in Modern History. We are sure that Perth Amboy High School will be proud of his good ship, the submarine “Current Events Club” and will be glad to follow her in her trips to foreign countries. Belle Cardon 11B.

Fishman, pcujc sevenix BBB The Aeneidae In the beginning of last term, the club, ordinarily known to students as the “Vergil Club,” changed its name to “Aeneidae,” which means Followers of Aeneas.” In the beginning of the new term an election was held, as all the officers were graduated. The outcome of the election was: President, Sidney Dorn-yak; Vice-President, Lillian Pass; Secretary and Treasurer, Pearl Kaufman. At a meeting following the election, the 12A students taking Vergil were initiated. The initiation was enjoyed by all. The “Aeneidae” is a very young club, and as it is limited to those taking Vergil, there are always very few members. But in spite of these hindrances, which we have at present, some day the “Aeneidae” will grow into a great club, which will compete with the other clubs of the school. Pearl Kaufman, 12 B Hy-G-N Club Hello, everybody! This is Station Hy-G-N broadcasting over the Periscope broadcasting system. We haven’t broadcasted for a while, but we’ve been busy, nevertheless. To make up to you folks for not hearing from us over this station before, I’m going to tell you all about our activities since we started. Now listen attentively folks and I will unfold the history of the Hy-G-N Club to you. Almost two years ago a group of ambitious Sophomore girls and Miss Claudia Roberts organized this club. It was called the Health Club but was later changed to Hy-G-N, meaning hygiene. The club went along splendidly under the guidance of the Misses Roberts and Richesen, and Edith Pavlovsky who was then the president. The girls have made many posters. No doubt you remember the attractive posters stressing cleanliness that were distributed about the school: There was also a poster contest. Thyra Dinesen won the prize for the most attractive poster. All the posters were used in the Health Exhibit, which, perhaps you will recall, was held in the High School auditorium some time last year. In September, ’30, we had another election. Belle Cardon was elected president and due to the fact that Miss Roberts left the school, Miss Esposito became the faculty adviser. We certainly have accomplished a great deal since these two have taken charge of the club. Then we took in quite a few new members who are helping out the club by contributing health posters and in many other ways. At Christmas time we filled three baskets for the needy and two girls sold Christmas seals. .Well, folks, my time is up, so I just want to tell you to keep your eye on the bulletin board and watch the Hy-G-N grow. So long everybody. You’ll hear more from us soon. Laura Damgaard. page seventy-one Standing; M. Christensen, Seated: 2 K. Comings, P. CAST OF “THE THREE GRACES” T. Dennis, A. Benincasa, L. Fass, A.

Football io one glancing over the scores of our past season it would seem as though we had just another bad team. But to such a person let us say, do not look at the scores but consult some of the followers of the team who saw every game and then come back and tell us what you think ot the team. I dare say that his opinion would be a changed one. Coach Rosen did his best to pick from a crowd of boys whose abilities he did not know, a team that would bring victory to the school. It also took time for the boys to become acquainted with his methods of coaching for we know that no two coaches have the same methods of coaching. Thus it was not until practically the end of the season that the real power of the team was demonstrated as was proved in our post season game. Our first game was with Red Bank. The boys were playing fine. At the end of the first half all indications pointed to a victory for our team, but as we were surest it was snapped from us, and we lost the game by the extra point margin, 7-6. The Millville game, some say, was the game in which the boys showed their real metal. Millville had the stronger team, but still our boys held them to one touch down and an extra point, getting one of each for themselves, and just as the game was about to end—a tie—one of the Millville players got away with a pass for a touchdown and the extra point was made, leaving the score 14-7. In our Thomas Jefferson and New Brunswick games we were out-played and just couldn’t get started. During the first quarter however, our team marched to what looked like a very close touchdown and for the moment had everyone on edge. Our game with St. Mary’s was heart-breaking. We again lost by the extra point margin and thus forfeited the Thomas F. Burke trophy after fighting so hard to retain it. The Carteret game also ended with us at the short end of a 7-6 score. Not once did the fellows slow down in this game even though they could see it was ending up as another of these heart-breaking games. Just after we had checked our equipment in at the close of our schedule we were called into the coach’s room where we found Coach Rosen and Mr. Ramsey. As soon as all were present Mr. Ramsey told us of a proposed game with Woodbridge for the benefit of the unemployed and asked if we igc seventy-five page seventy-six desired such a game to which a hearty “Yes, sir!” responded. This was a lot more than many a team would have said, for our team, beaten in every game was eager to go out and fight with their utmost, the team recognized as the Class B champions. This game was a real hard honest fight from the opening to the closing whistle. The ball was kept see-sawing hack and forth over the field for the first three-quarters of the game. It was near the end of the last quarter that the opponents succeeded in scoring on an end run. The extra point failed and the game ended 6-0. Thus ended our 1930 football season in defeat, yet in victory. The boys receiving letters were: George Sackett, Albert Oslislo, Alex Nagy, Dan Skelton, Douglas Eaton, John Desmond, Philip Breslow, Peter Krulikowski, Anthony Duchok, Morris Goldstein, Steve Kalapos, Jack Longstreet. The scores: Perth Amboy 6 Red Bank 7 Perth Amboy 0 Neptune 7 Perth Amboy 7 Millville 14 Perth Amboy 0 Thomas Jefferson 12 Perth Amboy 6 St. Mary’s 7 Perth Amboy 0 New Brunswick 13 Perth Amboy 6 Carteret 7 Perth Amboy 0 o— Woodbridge 6 Basketball Ten won, eight lost. That’s how our basketball record stands for this season. A season that could have been better, but taking everything into consideration, a mighty good record after all. In his first year as our basketball coach, Coach Rosen was faced with the problem of building a team around one letterman from last year, Mike Kelly. From the candidates for the team Coach Rosen selected, to start the first game of the year, which was against Carteret, Kelly and Miller, forwards; Kozusko, center ; Licht and A1 Olislo, guards. Carteret proved an easy victim and we gained a decisive victory 28 to 10. Miller and Chizmadia, who entered the game at the end of the first quarter, were our shining lights in this game, but you must not forget the others whose pass work made the baskets possible. Next we traveled to Rahway where we went down to defeat before the representatives of that school. Amboy could not seem to get started and so we lost by a score of 27 to 17. We seemed to continue our streak of bad luck to our game with Neptune. The shore boys proved to be too experienced and fast for our boys. Final score 21 to 14. Following our two defeats, we again won our way to the winning side of the column by an all important victory over St. Mary’s in the first game of the city championship series. The final score was 18 to 16, which is proof enough of a hard fought and winning battle page seventy-seven huge seventy-eight BOVS’ BASKETBALL Top: Coach Rosen. S. Ch:z:r.adia, E. Osiecki, I.

We went traveling for our next two games and both times were decisively defeated. The first game we lost to Thomas Jefferson, who later became State Class A champions, by a score of 53 to 11. The second game was lost to New Brunswick. Nagy played bis first game with us against Brunswick but despite this addition we lost 47-22. After these two defeats we entered into a week of victories. We started by defeating Bound Brook 30 to 12. The team continued to pick up speed and we traveled to Asbury Park where we defeated the shore boys 24-18. In this game we played with our strongest line-up of the year consisting of Kelly and Chizmadia, forwards; Nagy, center; Miller and Dubin, guards. The boys ascended to the peak of the week by overwhelming Woodbridge on our court. This is the first time in four years that we played Woodbridge and we brought back memories by winning 29 to 14. Our streak ended, however, when we traveled to Trenton where we put up a game fight but lost through lack of foul shooting. Trenton, 28; Amboy, 25. New Brunswick visited us next and left us a 30 to 19 defeat, bringing outstanding to five won, six lost. The team seemed stirred up by these defeats and we came out victorious in two breath-taking, heart-thrilling games, the first with Asbury, 21-20, and the second with our friend, Woodbridge, 24 to 23. Both of these were hard fought, but Amboy showed its mettle by eking out victories in both cases. Our joy was short-lived, for we traveled to Neptune where we lost in an over-time period game. The score at the end of the regulation four periods was 21 all, but in the extra period Neptune scored three points, at the same time holding us. scoreless; this entitled them to a 24 to 21 victory. The final two games of our regular schedule joined seven others in the win column. We won from Carteret 31 to 21 and then played the second and last game with St. Mary’s. For the first time since we began relations with St. Mary’s, we played them on our own court. In celebration of this event we were victorious by a score of 25 to 17. In this game Amboy gave a beautiful exhibition of passwork and teamwork, and but for shots popping in and then out again, it is probable that we would have run up a higher score. This victory, however, entitled us to the Thomas F. Burke Memorial Trophy donated by Joseph V. Costello. By winning this cup once we gained permanent possession of it. Another trophy for our collection. Our season did not end with the St. Mary’s game, however, for we still had to play in the tournament. In our first game we defeated Plainfield 31-24. This entitled us to play Asbury Park in the second round. History-failed to repeat itself in one case, but did repeat itself in another case. First we lost, the failure of history, as we had defeated Asbury twice before ; and second, we again played an overtime period and lost—the success of history. In one of the hardest fought games of the year we lost to Asbury. thereby being eliminated from the tournament. The closeness of the game may be shown by the fact that the half ended 8 all, the regular four periods, 20 all. and the game, Asbury 22. Amboy 21. And so we ring down the curtain on basketball for the season of ’30-’31. Ten won, eight lost.

Out of this group only four are graduating, coupled with the wealth of material displayed by the second team there are prospects of one of our best seasons next year. This year our jayvees had quite a successful season, winning eight, and losing two. They defeated the second teams of St. Mary’s, and Woodbridge twice; Carteret and Asbury Park once, and the No. 11 school five twice. The only two losses of the year were to New Brunswick. Playing with the Jayvees were : Thomas MacWilliam, Tom Jago, Joe Kuran, George Dubin, Augie Baurer, Frank Glynn, Ed Zinner, Ed Gadek, Joe Weir, Harold Augustine, John Reinert, Edwin Nickodem, Joliet Napear, and Steve Woznee.

Therefore, girls’ athletics center mainly around the Varsity Basketball Team and this year’s team did itself justice. A very good record was made this year by clean, hard playing, good sportsmanship and last, but far from least, Miss Sprague’s clever coaching and advice. The record for this season was ten games won, one tied and two lost. These two games were lost after the team was forced to lose three of its very able players, Jeanette Leichtman, Margaret Skapinetz and Dorothy Soporowski, through graduation. The girls lost two games not on the regular schedule to the very powerful East Rutherford team. They have left a record that they should be especially proud of since this is the last year of interschool basketball for them. To top it all, the team has downed St. Mary’s twice, thereby claiming city championship once more. One of the most outstanding victories of the season was the triumph over Asbury Park. This being the first time in the history of Perth Amboy girls’ basketball that a victory has been registered. The rest of the games were far from easy, but good team work and clean playing helped the girls to pile up high scores against their opponents. The varsity squad was composed of Captain Elsie Norman, Emma Seifer and Alyce Gould who maintained positions as guards. Judith Golen-bock, Ethel Derda and Dorothy Bjork, as forwards worked hard and piled up very credible scores. The center work was well taken care of by Edith Pavlovsky, and the center was assisted by Sylvia Gold and Marie Callahan, side center. The sub-varsitv squad deserves special mention due to their work and faithful attendance to every practice. It was composed of Sylvia Horwitz, Laura Olsen, Bessie Perelman, Agnita Greisen, Rose Kenney, Juliet Skapinetz, Edna Rosenshein and Barbara Lasso. Frances Shutinsky cut the oranges, while Eleanor Spivack did the other things that assistant managers are responsible for. The score keeping, booking and business in general was done by the manager of the team. Lillian Fass.

Sylvia Gold. Baseball The outlook for our baseball team looks bright. This was emphasized a great deal by our victory over Woodbridge by a' score of 19-4. This being the opening game it has served to put a great deal of confidence in the boys which we hope they will retain throughout the entire season. Coach Rosen is moulding a. fine team with a sharp outlook toward future years because most of the squad are lower-classmen who show promises of becoming a powerful team in the next two seasons as well as in the present one. Our schedule is by no means an easy one. It has a good many “bumps” and “dark horses” in it that must be overcome by cool skill and confidence. The schedule is as follows : April 14—Woodbridge—Away. April 17—Asbury Park—Away. April 21—St. Mary’s— April 24—Carteret—Away. April 27—Keyport—Home. May 1—New Brunswick—Away. May 5—Bayonne—Home. May 8—Lakewood—Away. May 12—Asbury Park—Home. May 15—Faculty—Home. May 19—New Brunswick—Home. May 22—Bayonne—Away. May 26—Woodbridge—Home. May 29—Carteret—Home. June 1—Lakewood—Home. June 5—St. Mary’s— The boys most likely to see service are: Tom Jago, Sam Dubin, Doug Eaton, Joe Kuran, Joe Romenetz, Emanuel Johnson, George Swanick, Joe Nehila, Yaniek, Tyrus Peck, Bob Thuleson, Ernest Oliver, Clarence Cottrell, r page eighty-fow John Reinert, “Pat” MacWilliam, Paul Zetkulic, Philip Pratscher, Steve Kalapose, Bob Dickson, Leonard Hughes and Frank Bader. The schedule was arranged and scoring kept by Manager Frank Preston. ------------o------- Track Some people residing in the vicinity of the City Stadium must have been wondering what has been going on in the grounds to cause so much interest. That’s the squad of runners trying out for and training for the forthcoming Penn Relays in which we are entered. The relay team has been decidedly weakened by the loss of speedy George Sackett, who is now helping to coach the team. George hopes to put in a team that will take a place, and I’m sure we all unite to wish im success so, “more power to you.” For some time now, track hasn’t received the support it should have, but this year it promises to become a very popular sport in our school. A fine schedule has been arranged which includes a tri-school meet with St. Mary’s, South River, a Central Jersey championship meet and other meets which are now being negotiated. A1 Seaman, Frank Teuber and Lazzo are the only men left from last year, which means it will be much harder this year. It should be remembered that our team last year came in second in the Penn Relays after a bad start. ------------o------- Tennis Not many students realize that we have a tennis team. This is excusable because of the fact that it is a new sport in our school. Do not, however, let this season go by without following the tennis team because you are sure to miss something of interest, and the support you offer will be greatly appreciated by the boys on the team. The tennis team is under the able guidance of Mr. Donald Wolfe, who hopes to put out a winning team this year. We feel confident that we will be able to do this. The schedule this far arranged is as follows: Alumni—May 4th—Home. Faculty—May 13th—Home. Roselle—May 18th—Away. Asbury Park—June 4th—Away. Other games are being negotiated with Rahway (2) ; Woodbridge and New Brunswick; but the dates for these games have not as yet been arranged. The members of the squad are: Robert Dickson. Leonard Dubrow, Martin Marcus, Austin Heller, Bernard Solomon and Maurice Miller. The latter is also the manager. ------------o------- Fresh.: “How many subjects did you flunk last term?” Soph.: “Only four.” Fresh.: “That’s a good record.

G. “That’s why they’re all shot.” Pupil at 8:30. IT RUNS Pupil to the cafeteria. The clock—at certain times. Heard in German Class Miss B.: “Is that right?” Student: “Nein.” (No). Miss B.: “Then what is?” Student: “Ten.” Mr. D.: “For the first part of our work for this morning we will start out by naming some of the lower animals, beginning with the student in the front seat.” Heard in Spanish Class Miss S.: “Translate Corto los cabellos.” T. M. (Guessing) : “She courted the horses.” H. B. (Giving report on mental type of person and holding up picture to illustrate)? Voice in the rear: “We can’t see it!” H. B. “Never mind, just look at me.” Miss F.: “What was later derived from the nomads?” A. N.: “Traveling salesman.” “You can always tell a P. A. H. S. student, but you can’t tell him anything.” A certain bright student wants to know who was walking all over the Gym ceiling with dirty shoes. Then there’s the story about A. S. and M. T. who went to Highland Park to attend a basketball tournament. Neither one had the admission fee so A. S. went in to “finegal” a pass. Having figured out a way for himself he felt he must take care of his pal. He told him to go upstairs and tell Mr. Pentiypacker that he was from the “Plainfield Oracle.” The “pal” nonchalantly walked into the office and said: “I am Mr. Pen-nypecker of the Plainfield Oracle.” And when he woke up his eyelids fluttered and he said: “Where am I?” page ninety ■■■■■■I Overheard in a Discussion of Life Work L. W.: “Are you going to be a nurse?” M. F.: “Of course not, I’m not even in the Glee Club.” Mr. Ramsey: “Young man, did I see you putting your arm around that girl ?” Student: “i really don’t know, sir; I was too occupied at the time to notice.” Hi-Y Member : “Get down on your knees !” Member to Be: “I can’t. It’s all I can do to get down on my upper lip.” 1st Operetta Member: “Just think! letter perfect.” 2nd Ditto: “What! Both of them?” At rehearsal I knew my words to E. C.: “What happened? Did you lose your envelope and paper?” I). B.: “No, it’s stationary.” Things We Would Like to Hear « . A boy sneaking away from Mr. Chalmers while he is looking for gum chewers. Miss Petersen forgetting to give homework. Mr. Kertes not cracking a joke while the pupils are doing a proposition. Mr. Phillips not telling his pupils about topics. Mr. Tapley pronouncing horse as it should be pronounced. Mr. Wisner not saying “as a matter of fact.” Miss Stauffer letting her pupils raise a racket in her classes. Miss Stripling yelling at her pupils. Miss Molyneux not giving a lecture to some pupil who has made a false move. Miss Blish not pinching someone who has been talking. Mr. MacMichael singing a solo on the stage during chapel. Miss McCormick letting a boy or girl leave the office when he or she is late without having a detention slip.

A little time, my reader, To linger—I cannot well; And then how I’ll need her— Farewell! Farewell! Farewell! Isadore Dicker, 12 B. The New Gym The new gym opened when the new year did, After a long and impatient wait; But after its wonders were revealed, We regretted that it was so late. Within its grey and lofty walls Have happened a host of things; Basketball combats there took place— The cheering in my ear still rings. The benefit which has been derived, From this auspicious hall. Is such that cannot easily be told, But was truly felt by all. Our parting word to the underclassmen, With regard to the new made gym; We hope that it will be used with care, For in our memory it will never grow dim. Isadore Dicker. Heard in Chemistry Class Mr. C.: “Class watch carefully, first I’ll take some hydrochloric acid and then some potassium cyanide.” Student: “That’s not a bad idea.” page ninety-three mmmm La£t Word JJVER Y good thing must have an end, and so we come to the last pages of this little book.
